In 2005, a team of criminals tunneled beneath the streets of Fortaleza, Brazil, and pulled off one of the largest bank heists in history.

This gripping true-crime account reveals the daring plan, the nationwide manhunt, and the betrayals that turned fortune into bloodshed. A story of ambition, greed, and the fragility of institutions, it remains Brazil’s most infamous “heist of the century.”

On a Sunday evening in December 2004, two young men were at home with their families. Both worked for the Northern Bank’s cash centre in Belfast. They heard knocks on their front doors.

It was made clear to the two bank officials that they had a choice: do what they were told or their families would die. In the wake of the twentieth anniversary of this bizarre robbery, Glenn Patterson builds on his popular BBC podcast to shed new light on the story of the infamous heist.
